This is interesting. I wonder what this service provides? Since it seems to be required to happen at stops and aimed at wheelchair customers, I am thinking the wheelchair must be brought out of the sleeper car onto the platform. How does it get from the platform to the top floor of the Dining...

There appears to be security camera(s) in the room. I like to place our bags on the top shelf, in clear camera view so that someone would likely show their face up to lift it down and show their face. Also they are usually heavy so it may deter a less strong criminal to find easier to reach bags.

I suddenly became curious how the Call Attendant button works as far as alerting the SCA? Is there some light panel with numbers in the roomette the the SCA usually sleeps in (meaning the SCA must always normally be assigned that room number, and it likely would never be assigned to a...

I think they are the Toledo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Cumberland. Although I was fast asleep when most of these happened.

The Hershey museum, 9 years ago now:

Greyhound has their museum in Hibbing, MN. I have only been able to stop by when they are closed for the winter, so I peered through the chain link fence on snow covered busses as best I could. Be careful not to drive off the cliff into the mines just north of the museum (actually the ghost...

Yes, I liked what Bard gave me too, quite the Thomas snarky style. MS Copilot with Commercial Data Protection gave me a rather dry Thomas story.

I found this figure, it seems to be 'generic' enough, but the CG looks to be above the RC. If so, during tilt would there not be be a weight transfer to the inside that may not happen on a non-tilting train car. This leads one to think the possibility exists to safely corner at a slightly...

Is the axis of the tilt (roll center) (RC) located normally at the center of gravity (CG), or is the CG above or below the RC on a typical tilting train? (Like an auto normally has the CG above the RC, and a ship normally has the CG below the RC, what is normal for a tilting train)

I thought the Maple Leaf did not have checked baggage? How could you use a RCMP 5589 NRFD or RCMP 5592 PAL if you have no correct way to have even transported the firearm that far?

A trip or two ago, at OSC, I think while carting multiple heavy suit cases while walking away from the auto I hit the unlock button on the remote in my pocket. Upon our return a week later we found it unlocked and absolutely nothing disturbed inside.

I prefer direction of travel so that acceleration or deceleration don't roll me out of the top bunk.

The term for this is “Hostile Architecture” Hostile architecture - Wikipedia

Is this a Siemens Nightjet you are all talking about? Edit I realize now you are likely? talking about this car: https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/nightjet-new-generation.htm

I rode the Hawkeye Express train once before it shut down: https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/football/2021/04/07/iowa-football-hawkeye-express-no-longer-option-rides-kinnick-stadium/7127110002/

Their are quite a few Amish in the area, and I see ride share happening for their transportation to/from the station.

My favorite Amtrak Flex dining item is the Butter Cake, made in Delaware. I have even attempted to visit the bakery to purchase a case of them, but they seem to close in January when I am around the area. Last month, on the Cap Limited, since we had a Giordano Pizza before leaving, so we asked...

OSC is our home station. I predict no problem leaving an auto in the parking lot for 5 weeks, but I have only parked for a week or less. I would probably park somewhat close to the station, but not the closest, best spot. There may be a note on the wall about long term parking/registering...

If a SSL is placed on the CL again, will the special split CCC/cafe/diner still be used or will it be changed to a full diner? If the split CCC/cafe/diner is kept, what happens to the cafe area in the lower part of the SSL (or the cafe service in the CCC/cafe/diner)?

We are boarded now, looking like 1.5 hrs plus late Edited :)
